Myanmar UN envoy hints at release of Suu Kyi

AFP, United Nations
The United Nations special envoy to Myanmar, Razali Ismail, hinted Tuesday that the release of Nobel peace laureate and democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi could be imminent.
And in the Myanmar capital Yangon, a high-ranking junta official made a rare visit to Aung San Suu Kyi's home Tuesday, sources said, heightening speculation she could be freed after 18 months under house arrest.
Razali, who visited Myanmar last week, was commenting on a statement by a minister in Myanmar's military government Sunday that "significant progress" in national reconciliation was due in the next few days.
Asked by reporters what he
expected, the normally reticent Razali replied: "It must be the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, release of political prisoners and further freedom for political activities.
"That is on the menu. The one that everyone expects is the release of Aung San Suu Kyi. Be patient. I think something big will happen."
A Malaysian foreign ministry official told AFP it was "fair" to speculate that Aung San Suu Kyi's imminent release was on the cards, but cautioned: "The Myanmar authorities may impose restrictions."
Aung San Suu Kyi has been under virtual house arrest for much of the past decade and all of the last 18 months.
Razali's comments, made on the sidelines of a conference here, came after Myanmar Labour
Minister Tin Win said Sunday: "A certain significant progress will take place within a few days."
But Tin Win played down the possibility this week would see the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.
"I don't think so," he said when asked if the junta would release her in coming days.
However, Brigadier-General Than Tun, the official liaison officer between the opposition leader and Myanmar's military regime, spent 10 minutes at her University Drive residence Tuesday, in his first visit for several months.
Than Tun, the head of the political department of the defence ministry, does not see Aung San Suu Kyi on a regular basis, but typically only when there is a matter that needs to be attended to.
